Factors Affecting Clove Prices

The Indian clove market is highly dependent on international prices, as the country is a major importer of this spice. The international market for cloves is quite volatile, and prices can fluctuate significantly based on supply and demand conditions.

Moreover, poor crop yields in major producing countries such as Tanzania and Indonesia have led to a shortage of supply, while increased demand from China has also put pressure on prices.

Lastly, local demand for cloves in India is also growing steadily, as more people are becoming aware of the spice's culinary and health benefits.
